Chicken Wings: An Obsession!

Chicken Wings: An Obsession!

I’m not sure when or how it happened, but I am addicted to chicken wings! I have always been partial to dark meat. Legs and thighs are my favorite parts of the chicken. I avoided wings like the plague, but in 2011 chicken wings are the only part of the bird I consume.

In January, while in California, I had chicken wings at Hooters for the first time. I think this is what sparked the addiction.

When I got home I had my moms chicken wings and noodle soup. That sealed the deal!

I have eaten my moms wings and noodle soup countless times, but this time the wings seemed to satisfy me in a way that they never have before. It was a new taste. Better!

I’m not sure why I have shunned the chicken wing in the past. Maybe it’s the retarded (yea, I used that word) part of the wing that you can’t eat that I found unappealing, or maybe because I have given up eating so much red meat and pork that chicken wings are an acceptable substitute for a breast.

In fact, I cooked wings twice this week!

I need more recipes folks, what are some other tasty ways to prepare chicken wings other than fried with hot sauce drizzled over them?

I always oven fry my chicken wings. They taste just as good. Have you thought about putting Parmesan Cheese and Italian seasoning on on the breading? I also like baking them in BBQ sauce with a touch of Tabasco. Blackened Cajun wings are fabulous too.
